About the author

Hideo Yokoyama (横山 秀夫) worked as an investigative reporter with a regional newspaper north of Tokyo for 12 years before striking out on his own as a fiction writer. He made his literary debut in 1998 when his collection of police stories Kage no kisetsu (Season of Shadows) won the Matsumoto Seicho Prize; the volume was also short-listed for the Naoki Prize. In 2000 his story Doki (Motive) was awarded the Mystery Writers of Japan Award for Short Stories. His 2002 novel Han'ochi (Half Solved) earned a Konomys No. 1 and gained him a place among Japan's best-selling authors. He repeated his Konomys No. 1 ranking in 2013 with 64 Rokuyon (64), his first novel in seven years. Other prominent works include his 2003 Kuraimazu hai (Climber's High), centering on the crash of JAL Flight 123 that he covered as a reporter in 1985; the World War II novel Deguchi no nai umi (Seas with No Exit, 2004); the police novel Shindo zero (Seismic Intensity Zero, 2005); and the story collection Rinjo (Initial Investigation, 2004).

Reviews

[Forrest · Rating 3 out of 5]

我想我應該會把這一本書歸類為極短篇的故事而非推理故事；各篇的故事我最喜歡最後一篇"秘書課的男人"，除了因為自己是上班族所以感觸較多外，這篇的結局也比較正向(應該說是圓滿吧!!)，其餘的幾篇也都算是精采，雖然沒有很著重於推理的過程，但對於人性的描述都相當細膩，而也有種很平民化的感覺，似乎身邊的人就會碰到....，至於有人說看完橫山秀夫的書會不太舒服，因為這是我看該作者的第一本書，感覺上是還好，應該是我覺得人性有時候就是這樣.......
